I’m an easy going photographer with 10 years of photographic experience who was born and raised in Southern California. My focus is to photograph portraits, couples, engagements, and weddings. When I’m not photographing I love to travel with my husband Nathan by hitting the open road and camping wherever we stop as well as partying it up with my family.
I love to have fun and that shows through my photography. While I’m with a client I want to make the atmosphere light hearted and enjoyable. That means erasing any stress and worry you might have about getting your pictures taken and make it feel like a walk in the park.
I’m here to serve you and will give any advice I can whether that be what to wear on photo day, what poses fit you best, or what location ideas or times of day will work best for your particular vision.
My goal is to create a valuable experience for each of my clients by catering to their needs and creating a photo session that suits them and their personality, no cookie cutter photo sessions here!

Jenna was a pleasure to work with. She offered tips for apparel and recommendations for photo sites; both were appreciated. Our photo session was smooth and we love our family photos.

We hired Jenna to take pictures at my daughter’s tea birthday party! She did such a beautiful job and it was such a relief for me to not have to worry about taking pictures of everything and be able to enjoy the moments with our family and friends while Jenna captured everything. It was a perfect chance to get some family photos while everyone was dressed nice. She even sent this picture of my daughter the day after the party and I could use it to make my thank you cards right away! Thank you Jenna, excited about our next event already!

Jenna did such a wonderful job taking pictures for my wife and I on our anniversary. I planned a surprise dinner for my wife, Jenna was able to capture the most special moments. I made special requests that she honored. She didn’t mind waiting a little longer my wife to come out and she stayed until she caught all the beat parts. I’m so glad I hired Jenna and I hope to work with her again at our next special occasion.

Jenna was a pleasure to work with! Over all a chill and nice person which made the experience that much better. While shooting she was great at making me comfortable with the process of positioning and everything else! Her creative insight and opinions made the photos also turn out great, not the mention the great quality of the photos. Would definitely recommend her!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First there is the initial inquiry contact. Then I work on onboarding my clients, speaking to them over any platform they prefer (text, email, phone, zoom/FaceTime). Then I work on sending packages, prices, wardrobe guides, and any other suggestions they might need. We then sign a contract and pay a retainer to lock in the session date (the rest of the payment can be made on or before the session date). Once we do that then they are in my calendar and we can chat more about their vision for photos! Once the session is done I typically send preview photos with in a day or two and the full gallery within two weeks.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Associate in science degree and a certificate of completion focused on still photography
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always had a passion for photography and all things creative. Ever since high school I have been enthralled by the possibilities of photography. I thrive on capturing beautiful photos that not only show who you are, but also sets your images apart from others through my particular creative vision.
